Software
Starry Night Pro v.6 for session planning and mount control.
MaxIm DL v.5 for image acquisition, and initial processing. I usually use the Photoshop routines of Neil Carboni to
neutralize and darken the sky, and enhance the images as required.
A further slight enhancement with levels and sharpening may be needed. Planetary/solar imagery processed with Registax.

My favorite site was a location just south of Foymount, on private land (Quadeville Road). This admirable site, on a hilltop (420 m) with flat outcrops to set the tripod and mount on,
is on the blue/grey LP boundary, looking S and W to dark skies. In my humble opinion, it is the finest astrophotography site within 2 hours of Ottawa, and is near the future
site of the Madawaskan Highlands Observatory. Unfortunately the site is now the location of a meteorological tower! I am currently using an undisclosed site some 10s of km further east, also above 400 m altitude.
